First Ascent Igniter Jacket

On our 2010 Life List of gear we can't live without: First Ascent's Igniter jacket.

We love down as much as the next guy. But nothing beats the versatility of synthetics—which don't crap out once they get wet. We're especially fond of First Ascent's warmer-than-it-looks, PrimaLoft-filled Igniter, which is svelte enough to wear under a hard shell. $199; firstascent.com
